A Shifting Love

Autumn has never understood forbidden love. Why would anyone fall for a person they can’t be with freely? If she had to sneak around to be with a man, he wasn’t worth her time. Period! At least, that was how she felt until a dangerous detour through the woods led her into the arms of Nicholas, a man who had been affected by a curse placed on his family and group of their peers forty years ago. During the day, he’s an attractive, twenty-five-year-old; at night, he changes into a wolflike creature. Autumn is instantly fascinated by Nicholas and his story and wants to do what she can to help. They begin to meet secretly, hiding away from judgmental shifters and Nicholas’ fellow Night Stalkers. Autumn starts to fall for Nicholas and realizes she’s breaking her number one rule. She wonders if it’s possible for them to be happy together or if the hatred between their people will tear them apart. A Shifting Love is created by S.

Chapter 19: Breakfast

Nicholas had left me to freshen up. I went to the surprisingly modern bathroom and quickly splashed cold water on my face and raked through my hair, fixing any of the curls that had gotten smushed in my sleep. My reflection said I looked presentable, but my mind wasn’t ready. I was in no condition to meet anyone’s parents, especially his.

That dream couldn’t have come at a worse time. I needed to know what and meant and what to do to prevent those things from happening. In my community, dreams were often viewed as premonitions of the future; even the most random ones had a purpose.

Nicholas and I had known our friendship put us at risk of being discovered, but we never discussed what we would do if that happened. Had my dream been a warning or challenge from the Goddess? She knew what I dared not to speak; it was time to end the curse, and I would never see Nicholas as a monster despite my reaction to him in the dream.
